Ralph Fiennes Gossip

Yesterday I got a marketing email that completely baffled me. It was a “media alert!” announcing that this morning there would be a “live launch” of Bond 25, and as I read the email, I legit laughed out loud. They’re trying it? This week? THIS week of ALL weeks? This week and next week are the two busiest pop culture weeks of the year. Full Story

Inspired by classic European cinema (specifically, La Piscine) and borrowing its title from a David Hockney painting,  Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash is simultaneously gorgeous and silly. Reuniting with Tilda Swinton Full Story

I like Bond movies but I'm no Bond historian. Spectre, the title of Bond 24, just announced today, will mean something to Bond nerds though the way "alohomora" means something to Potterheads (me). For many, a Bond film is an Event. My best friend Fiona is big on Bond. She'll see it the first weekend. Full Story

Those who don’t enjoy Wes Anderson’s films knock it for their preciousness and pretention. Sometimes, yes. But I will defend The Royal Tenenbaums every day. And how can you hate Bottle Rocket? Also, Moonrise Kingdom was one of my favourite movies of 2012. Maybe my favourite movie of 2012. Full Story

Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes, and David Kross (he is so cute!) today in Berlin at a presser for The Reader. Have you seen it yet? It’s worth seeing, not only because Harvey campaigned so hard it took away The Dark Knight’s spot for Best Picture nomination, but because it’s a thought provoking, decent film. Full Story

Awards season means the likes of Lauren Conrad are shoved to the side…have you noticed? It’s time for real stars, real celebrity, so f-ck off reality twats because Meryl Streep has just won a SAG. Wearing a pantsuit. Heh. Love that Meryl is never super appreciative. That she doesn’t have to be. Full Story

Kate Winslet with Ralph Fiennes last night at the NY premiere of The Reader. Of course she’s gorgeous. Of course she’s kickin’ it in that Herve Leger. But this … is this your Kate? This overtanned, overblonde Real Housewife of Some County? Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, Kate is officially kicking off her double Oscar run – entered into contention in the Best Supporting Actress category for The Reader and the Best Actress Category for Revolutionary Road which has been building upon very positive early praise for both her and Leo and the flow of the film as a whole. Full Story

People keep saying Keira Knightley is too thin. Can’t imagine why. She’s, like, so totally healthy looking, don’t you think? That said, I LOVE this dress. For her. It’s gorgeous. London premiere of The Duchess is happening right now – Keira brought her bones along with her pout and was kind enough to sign autographs for fans without cussing them out. Full Story

If the name means nothing to you, skip to the next. You won’t care. But many, many, many of you DO care. Because we love Harry Potter. And the brand new trailer for the Half Blood Prince drops tonight. Yay! Among the juicy reveals – a first look at Tom Riddle. Creepy, right? Of course. This is the boy who will go on to become the Dark Lord Voldemort. Full Story

Only because they cuss with such abandon and beauty, a degenerate dirty gossip lover like me can’t help but love it. Oh…and Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes together don’t hurt either. Why do I love it when Ralph drops the C bomb? It’s the trailer for In Bruges, Colin’s new movie that will open Sundance in January. Full Story

Ellen Barkin is a feisty broad. Ralph Fiennes is a sexy perv. I love them both. And I LOVE them both TOGETHER. They’ve apparently been seen out and about NYC, sharing drinks at the Waverly Inn and heading out together at the end of the night. As they were leaving, Ralph apparently held her close, whispering what I imagine to be very, very, very naughty thoughts in her ear - dirty words with an English accent…. Full Story
